ANCESTRAL PROTECTORS
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, s pectral
warriors appear when you ente r your rage. While you're
rag ing, the first c reature you hit with an attack on your
turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder
its attacks. Until the sta r t of your next turn, that target
has disadvantage on a ny attack roll that isn't against
you, and when the target hits a creature othe r than you
with a n attack, that c reature has resistance to the da m-
age dealt by the attac k. The effect on the target e nds
early if your rage ends.SPIRIT SHIELD
Beginning a t 6th level, the guardia n spirits that aid you
can provide supernatural protection to those you de -
fe nd. If you a re raging a nd a nother c reature you can see
within 30 feet o f you takes damage, you can use your
reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6.
Whe n you reach certa in levels in this class, you can
reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level a nd by
4d6 at 14th level.CONSULT THE SPIRITS
At 10th level, you gain the ability to cons ult with your
ancestral spirits. When you do so, you cast the augury or
clairvoyance spell, without using a spell s lo t or materi a l
components. Rathe r than c reating a sphe rical sensor,
this use of clairvoyance invisibly summons one of your
a ncestra l spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is you r
spellcasting a bility for these spells.
After you cast e ither spell in thjs way, you can't use
this feature again until you finis h a s hort or long rest.VENGEFUL ANCESTORS
At 14th level, your ancestra l spirits g row powerful
enough to re taliate. When you use your Spirit Shield to
reduce the damage o f a n attack, the attacker takes a n
amount o f force damage equa l to the damage that your
Spirit Shield prevents.Path of the Storm Herald
All barba rians h arbor a fury within. Their rage g rants
them supe rior strength, durability, and speed. Barba r-
ia ns who follow the Path of the Storm Herald learn
to trans form tha t rage into a m a ntle of primal magic,
which swirls around the m. When in a fury, a barbar ia n
of this path taps into the forces of nature to c reate pow-
e rful magical effects.
Storm he ralds are typically e lite champions who train
alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect
nature. Other storm heralds hone their c raft in lodges in
regions wracked by storms, in the frozen reaches at the
world's e nd, or deep in the hottest deserts.
